Trump’s “Meddlesome Priest”

This week, the former F.B.I. director James Comey testified before Congress about his private meetings with the President. David Grann joins Dorothy Wickenden to discuss the F.B.I.’s controversial political history, and how a man who prizes apolitical crime-fighting found himself all but accusing Trump of obstruction of justice.

Dorothy Wickenden has been the executive editor of The New Yorker since 1996.
